Arc 5The Secret of the Body
Lin Ming used Qiangu Zhangting’s soul to turn Lu Ya against the Qiangu Clan and provoke a battle between Qiangu Dongfeng and Shrek. After Shrek’s auction drew the continent’s factions into a fight over the Secret of the Body, Yun Ming abducted Lin Ming, who saw his capture as a chance to die publicly and damage Tang Hao’s reputation.
- Lin Ming fused Qiangu Zhangting’s soul, memories, Martial Soul, and appearance with Lu Ya, then sent him to deceive Qiangu Dongfeng into blaming Shrek for his grandson’s death and torture.
- Qiangu Dongfeng attacked Shrek Academy, where Tang Hao fought him, Qiangu Dieting, and Qiangu Qingfeng, leaving Shrek destroyed and Tang Hao demanding compensation from the Qiangu family.
- Lin Ming collected twenty billion in compensation from Shrek, and Tang Hao found the Secret of the Body and arranged to auction it alongside Soul Bones and immortal herbs.
- Du Bisou planned to use the Body Sect’s authentic manual to trigger Shrek’s tenfold compensation guarantee, and Lin Ming agreed to help buy and resell Shrek’s copy.
- Shrek’s auction attracted factions across the continent, and Lin Ming won the Secret of the Body for 50,000,000,001 under a contract guaranteeing tenfold compensation if it was fake.
- Yun Ming returned in a human body and fought Tang Hao as En Ci, Mu Ye, Leng Yaozhu, Guan Yue, and Leng Yulai joined the battle around them.
- Yun Ming and Leng Yulai merged into a Quasi-God-level fighter, broke through Ya Li’s defense, and abducted Lin Ming, while Lin Ming said his subordinates had already taken the Secret of the Body away.
- At the Holy Spirit Cult, Lin Ming refused to reveal his secrets or money and privately resolved to turn his capture into a public death that would make him a hero and implicate Tang Hao.
